The case printed out well however I did notice the touchscreen is a little off set and the camera insert did not snap into the Back Plate at all, however the Camera Dummy Plug did very well. Perhaps the Printer was the cause, I do not know as this was my first ever project with 3D Printing.

I used a Dremel to cut holes for a Power Switch and a Micro USB cable to power the battery I stuffed into the case along with a Adafuit Powerboost 100c. Pictures under "I Made One"

Hi! It's me, again... would it be possible for you to give us .step-files? This is a file format which should be easy to read from different platforms / softwares... maybe you can export your files to .step or *.stp or something...

I really like this design a lot, but I have been having problems with the screw holes for mounting the display to the frame being off by ~ 1-2 mm. I saw below that this was brought up in the past.It would be helpful if these were oval to allow for side to side mounting drift.

Going to print this out this morning. I hope it works for my needs. I've got to hack in space for audio input some how, or I might just use an external USB device. Regardless, thanks for doing all this work. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm planning on building a few dozen Augmented and Alternative Communication devices using this basic hardware config.

It is printing! 19 hours to go. Too bad I can't print all the parts simultaneously. I'll have to print the mount frame tomorrow.

Hello
I'm just getting into Raspberry Pi, I have recently bought one and built a media center but I am looking to try something a bit more exciting and found this Thing. So I have decided to start preparing for this project. I'm patiently waiting for the battery addition. :) I was wondering however, is there room in the enclosure for 3G / GPRS? My thought was it would be nice to have this functionality if it could be stuffed in there so how.

I started printing the case.
I have one question; the ribbon cable betwwen the screen controler en the rpi2 looks a bit short, no?
Any advice on which onw to choose? Or I can just get a random one on the net?

I use one from Adafruit (same as the camera cable). I didn't remember in this design that I was using that, hence the too short cable space. I'm attempting to find the original and redesign this slightly to fix the issue.

hello , thanks for the design .
i printed the case the display itself fits very good to the frame , only the inside bracket is about a few millimeters of .
when i put it together the display doesn't fit anymore and not aligned anymore !
Is it possible that the raspberry Pi display metal enclosure is also a little bit out of alimend and the are not all the same. Production failure ?
metal is bad glued to the display(out of alligment) . if you like i can send picture af the bad aligned frame to display .
is it possible do redesign the bracket have bigger screw holes (ovals) that you can move the screen a little bit before tighten ?
kind regards

Thanls a lot! That is really great. This week, my Reprap i3 will arrive and your case will be the first being printed on that.
What kind of software do you use? Autodesk Inventor?
May you upload the raw-files (.ipt, .iam, .3ds or whatever you use) ? I would like to adapt your thing if you allow me ;)

Thank you. I just wanted to add some things:
switchable cooling fan and a boxed header to make the 40 pins accessible from outside the casing.
the "PowerBoost 1000" and a battery, but these ideas you already mentioned.

I'm currently printing this variant so I suspect I'll find the same. Fixes will come once I have the time to figure them out. If you get them first, I'll borrow them and add a remix of your upload to the sources list.

so the measurements I am coming up with from the case as it is printed using hatchbox pla is about 1.5mm short on the mount in the main frame, then we have 2 different lengths for the mounts on the screen itself. i can get the measurements and ill see if i can get a workable import to cad from the STL to modify your mounts since they fit together so well.

looks like 19.61mm (2 mounts) to the center of the screw hole on the side opposite the fixed mount hole (rasp pi comnnection area) and 21.12mm (1 mount) for the last single mount point left.

Very useful. I'll see if I can use those measurements and update the models. I've uploaded my SketchUp file with everything in it if you want to take a crack yourself.

Edit I've uploaded a new version of the SketchUp file and a new test component. This is the piece I used to determine hole positions which now seem correct. A test print reveals that the holes are now in the proper positions on my test component. I'll be revamping the rest of the connection points in the morning.

Hello.
This design is awesome, however, I was wondering if you could modify the design so that the user has access to the AV port and HDMI port, so that one could use the AV port as a headphone jack! If you did this, your design would be flawless.
I believe this could be done either by flipping the pi over or moving it to the other side of the enclosure.

That would be great! I was hoping you would make a version that basically gives access to the HDMI and AV port, if that was the preference.
It would be much appreciated, I am trying to learn cad, and I have a lot of trouble with this stuff! Thank you!

Thanks for those links. I shall look more into them. As I understand it, the display requires 5v at at least 500mA and the Pi2 recommends a 5v power supply with 1200mA capacity. Combined is recommended to be 2A.

I'll look and see if I can find a lipo solution, like you recommended, with a 2A source. If not, I'll also be investigating a parallel LiPo arrangement or multiple PowerBoosts.

Been waiting for something like this!! Too bad the boards in the center.. makes it really hard to fit a batter in here. Maybe add a removable door for access to GPIO or the option for it. Nice camera addition!
